I have a funny relationship to language. when i came to california when i was three i spoke urdu fluently and i didn't speak a word of english. within a few months i lost all my urdu and spoke only english and then i learned urdu all over again when i was nine. urdu is my first language but it's not as good as my english and it's sort of become my third language. english is my best language but was the second language i learned.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

The revival of hebrew, as a spoken language, is a fascinating story, which i'm afraid i cannot squeeze into a few sentences. but, let me give you a clue. think about elizabethan english, where the entire english language behaved pretty much like molten lava, like a volcano in mid-eruption. modern hebrew has some things in common with elizabethan english. it is being reshaped and it's expanding very rapidly in various directions. this is not to say that every one of us israeli writers is a william shakespeare, but there is a certain similarity to elizabethan english.

English is the largest of human tongues, with several times the vocabulary of the second largest language -- this alone made it inevitable that english would eventually become, as it did, the lingua franca of this planet, for it is thereby the richest and most flexible -- despite its barbaric accretions . . . or, i should say, because of its barbaric accretions. english swallows up anything that comes its way, makes english out of it.

Malcolm bradbury made the point, and i don't know whether it's a valid one or not, that the real english at the moment is not the english spoken in england or in america or even in canada or australia or new zealand. the real english is the english which is a second language, so that it's rather like latin in the days of the roman empire when people had their own languages, but had latin in order to communicate.
